Foreign Naval Capabilities

ONI regularly produces publications for sailors of the United States Navy deployed around the world. However, it also produces unclassified reports available to the public for use by academics, policy makers, scientists, and naval enthusiasts alike.

The Russian Navy

Map of Russia

ONI's unclassified report on Russia's navy, The Russian Navy - A Historic Transition, looks historically and currently at the role played by Russian naval forces. It is the first such report discussing the Russian Federation Navy by ONI since the seventh and last issue of Understanding Soviet Naval Developments published in 1991.

The Iranian Navy

A Tale of Two Navies (2017)


At the time of our first publication in 2009, Iran’s two navies were only a few years into a major reorganization, and each service was navigating through a period of considerable change. Now, nearly a decade following the reorganization, we have a better understanding of Iran’s ultimate intentions for the reorganization and clearer insight into how its navies are progressing during this time of transition. This new insight and understanding have made it even more necessary to consider and address each of Iran’s navies as distinct organizations with independent strategies, doctrines and missions. It is, in fact, a tale of two navies.
